I’m so pleased that y’all like my Twisted Logic socks.The pattern will be available for sale at The Loopy Ewe in the near future.

Did I finish the second sock? Not yet, but I’m close!

I’ll likely finish it tonight and start a new sock for the trip.

Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis

I am off to St. Louis for The Loopy Ewe Spring Fling in the morning. Someone asked a day or two ago what classes I’m teaching. It’s just one class, but I’m teaching it 4 times — heel and toe techniques for toe-up socks.

I decided against bringing my laptop with me. I figured it really wasn’t worth schlepping it all the way there as I likely won’t have much time to be cruising online. And I won’t promise you much in the way of photos when I return, as I tend not to take too many when I go to knitting events. I don’t want to annoy the other attendees.

So, no blog post tomorrow. I return home Sunday afternoon, so you might see a post from me Sunday night.

Then again, you might not see one until Monday.

By far the hardest thing I have to do tomorrow morning is to say good-by to this little sweetheart until Sunday afternoon:

She, of course, will be having a high old time with her Daddy. I fully expect her to be disappointed when I return home. You know: “Well, Daddy lets me do this” and “Daddy lets me do that.”

Have a safe journey and a wonderful time! At least you know that Lucy will be in good hands. I always hate to leave our own bunch and the best part about coming home is seeing them all again. I have to admit I rather enjoy being hair-free for a few days, though.

I haven’t had a chance to comment on the Lismore yet and it is stunning. I love the way the colors played out, my favorite part being the ribbing at the bottom.

Hi Wendy, I know what you mean by leaving Lucy. I can barely stand to leave mine, even for a fabulous vacation. I also agree with Esther, about being hair free. With 2 dogs and 4 cats, what’s that? Have a fabulous time Wendy and happy and safe travels. Mickie

Have a grand ole fling at the fling! Enjoy without worrying about documenting it all. You can tell us about it when you’ve recovered.

Some Daddy’s spoil the kids? Mine are applying right now for a change of venue – they’re always delighted when momma returns home and they get their “trained human” back. Daddy, is seems, is untrainable.

My Daisy and Caelee will be saying the same thing when I come home from Maryland Sheep and Wool in a couple of weeks – I’m so excited to be going for the first time, anxious about leaving my “babies” home, but know that they will be having a great time with DH who will be spoiling them while I’m away !!! They probably won’t even notice I’m goine….well, they’ll notice, but they won’t mind too much!

My “bratty cattys” are def spoiled and their daddy is the one who spoiled them 🙂 Unfortunstely I’m the one who has to take care of them when hes gone and they def know how to get what they want and are even mor insistant when hes gone for a day or 2!

Thanks for the contest plug (and it *is* a fabulous prize!!!). 🙂 Have a wonderful trip! And I know what you mean about leaving Lucy. We go away for two weeks at the end of May and I’m already wondering how I’m going to stand leaving the “kids” behind.

I know I am late on this, but had to let you know that I ADORE your Lismore.
So much so, that I got the book on Tuesday and I copied the chart and darkened in the foreground.
I am thinking of making the background in solid black and then the foreground in Kauni EQ —- hoping to swatch a repeat this weekend and see how it goes.

Wow! I love the Twisted Logic pattern. It’s not often we get to see such an interesting pattern that really begs for a solid yarn. (I love solid colored sock yarns). I’m going to be sure to buy this pattern when it’s available. Thanks for another smash-bang-gee-whiz designing job. Have fun in St. Louis. Happy knitting.

Have a safe and fulfilling trip, Wendy! I feel the same way you do about picture-taking; I feel so conspicuous!

But the question of the moment is: Do you call up KORAC and ask that he put Lucy on the phone? My husband and I do that all the time when one of us is out of town (well, with our OWN cats, not Lucy, that is.) 🙂

Our computer was at Dell last week being fixed, so I missed the end of Lismore and wanted to say how absolutely fabulous it is!! Incredible!
The socks are wonderful too, of course. And I am jealous that I can’t attend the Spring Fling to learn from the Master, er, Mistress.

I’m the spoiler in our family. With both the dogs and the cat. When we both go away the dogs are farmed out or boarded and one of my girlfriends comes to the house to take care of Chevy, my kitty. Last time we went away for 10 days and when we came home, Chevy was fat! He had always been a skinny little noodle so I don’t know what the heck she was giving him but whatever it was, he loved it! She played innocent so I still have no idea.
